Nice cottage
Nice older cottage in a great location on the West Arm. Close to Petoskey and Bay Harbor. Nice deck. Newer dock, great for the pontoon boat and for sitting. A/C would have been nice to have for a few nights of our stay.

Perfect little cottage on Walloon Lake
My girlfriend and our two friends and their two small children had a wonderful stay at this property. The yard was perfect for badminton; we loved sitting on the dock drinking wine and taking in the sunset. And the location is ideal, with easy access to Petoskey and Charlevoix. The kitchen was well stocked and made preparing meals easy. Would love to visit again!

Cozy cabin in great location
We recently stayed here and it was wonderful. We comfortably slept 4 adults and 6 kids. The cabin was very cozy and super clean, and the most well stocked rental I have stayed in. The view of the lake is great, we enjoyed just sitting on the porch. There isn’t a beach but the kids used the ladder off the dock and we’re able to use the ladder and had fun swimming around. The location is nice as it’s close to Lake Michigan, downtown petoskey and Charlevoix. We had a great time and would love to come back!

Served the purpose well
Great view of Walloon Lake - Place was not really dirty yet did not feel all that clean either. Reminded us of our old cedar and knotty pine cabin on another lake but bigger. We watched our grandchildren a few nights and it worked out well. Bring coffee up with you, there were filters but we neglected to bring coffee up so that first morning had to run out and buy some. Most everything else is there.

Overall the house was nice and great spot on the lake
The house could use some love from the owners as it’s needs some overall maintenance. The screen door slider was broken and needs to be replaced, two windows upstairs would not close, the mattress in main bedroom needs to be replaced, install a deadbolt on front door, organize the kitchen supplies and add rugs in front of doors Overall just some annual maintenance and the house would be even better. Thanks for the opportunity to stay and enjoy the week!

Great location....needed cleaning.
We have been coming to Walloon for decades. The best lake in Michigan by far. This house could be so cute with some updates! I don’t mind old and this was a 5 star location, but the house was not clean! There is no excuse for a dirty rental. 6 of us spent hours cleaning upon arrival. I washed all the sheets (one pillow case was obviously not washed with makeup all over it that came out with one wash). The refrigerator was not wiped out, the floor was covered with glass and dirt from a stove that was delivered (it was nice that was new!), my Clorox wipes were filthy with every wipe! Many broken things throughout the house like window casings and handles, the sliding screen door, and living room furniture. The yard was not picked up with junk left from prior renters. On the positive side....The property was in a great location and nice space outside with a great dock for our pontoon and 2 sea doos. The mattresses were new and comfortable. Despite the disappointment the first day and hours we spent cleaning, it was an amazing week on the lake and with family. We love Walloon. I would definitely rent again if I was guaranteed a clean arrival and some basic updates to the home.

Beautiful lake
Walloon lake is one of the most beautiful lakes up north; the water is incredibly clear. The views are stunning from the deck. The house is older but everything is functional and it is well stocked. Close to Petoskey and to Lake Michigan. Public boat launch next door is very well screened by a tall hedge, can be a bit noisy over the weekend but not generally a nuisance. Overall, a great experience.

Beautiful waterfront cottage on Walloon Lake
The house was clean, well stocked with anything in the kitchen you may need, comfortable beds and furniture, plus a beautiful view of Walloon Lake. There is a public access boat launch next to the property so consider if hosting older children who might want to swim in that direction. There was a lot of noise from the launch on the 4th of July but the remainder of the week was quiet. We were able to get to Petoskey in 10 minutes, enjoy the lake by renting a boat at Tommy's and had an overall wonderful time.
